waverley. are an Edinburgh-based Scottish band who have been making music for the past couple of years. Now, they’re ready to unveil their debut EP, It Makes An Emptiness Of A Crowded Place. That project will be released on 17th November via Blackhall Records.

Following the first two singles, “Rest and Be Thankful” and “Open Bar”, the 5-piece indie-rock outfit did return with a brand new one.

The new song is called “Not Hoping”. It’s a guitar-driven, upbeat yet evocative song.

“We’ve had the foundation of the song for years but it wasn’t until we scrapped all of the approaches we’d tried before and began again that we finally clicked with it. From there we were able to take the half cooked lyrics and mould them into melancholic verses and punchy, defiant choruses. The roots of the song were months, if not years, in the making and Not Hoping’s creation was an entirely collective endeavour, with everyone bringing their own parts and ideas on how to take it forward,” the band says.

Childhood friends Ewan, Donnie, Jake, Rory and Leo make up this outfit. Get to connect with waverley. on Instagram.
